One of our local gunshops has a used Charles Daily. The price seems to be right. It is a Field EFS Model. I do not have alot of experience with the CD brand. I have a Kimber and a Springfield now. I know that the CD is not on the same level as them. However, if purchased the CD will be just a house/truck gun. Are they any good? Anybody got one? Any problems What is a fair price for a used one? Thanks |

i've have, and still have, one of the original fs models for a number of years, purchased new. shot well, no feeding problems, and accurate; but last spend cartridge would usually be "yanked" back into the lips of the mag. , jamming the pistol. put in top of the line ed brown extractor, fp. stop, and fp; wolfe fp and recoil springs and hasn't failed since. i paid $350 for it nib and as i recall, about $35 for the above parts; oh, also put on some mccormick rosewood double diamond grips. believe they were about $35. i enjoy it when the boy's with the stainless colts come over and want to know what i'm shooting. mcole |

I saw a fellow with two NIB Daly's at the range one day. One was full size, the other a compact. Parts fell off of both while shooting them & they both repeatedly jammed. I wouldn't go near one of them if my life depended on it. For about $425 or so, you can own a NIB Springfield 1911, a ten times better 1911. My .o2 |
